I'm going to call Clammer a bit to ask him if he wants help pulling the boat so I can listen to him skip gayly down memory lane about how he doesn't ^*&#$ need to (#&$#$ :devil2::cens: pull the *#&4///.! b-0at .



Yep. I'll be powering down client's servers and unnecessary equipment, powering down most of my mine and run the Innernets off my UPS(s) and laptops on low power settings.


On a plane at 35,000 feet using GoGo. Booking back from the West Coast. I'm gonna pull the boat tomorrow.

Sharpening hooks, tying some bucktails, pouring some jig heads, and losing a lot of sleep between friday night and sunday night.

I've never had winds break a window. I guess my answer depends on how securely your neighbors store stuff like lawn furniture and garbage cans. It's not like we're going to get 140 mph winds.

Fair profit sure... opportunistically doubling my money when something I have is in short supply... no.

I'm no angel, that's for sure... And if you have aproblem with me adding my $0.02??? You're on the internet...

cheferson 08-26-2011 08:18 AM

What ever, that's life ! Supply and demand , you dont like it , go to the moon. I didnt create money , or hold a gun to the guys head and make him buy it . If it really bothers ya that much go on CL and spam all the people that bought 5+ generators and flash lights etc for profit .

Your my internet hero today Jfig! ANother example of why people suck!

So do you work for free and give all your possessions away ? Do you go to concerts and bitch that a beer is $12? You know what , no one gives a #^&#^&#^&#^& , that's the way it is ....

Yes double the lines. Add a second spring line crossing the first. Make sure all lines wont rub (cover with tape, tubing.. whatever) lower antennae, biminis, and anything loose stow it. Add a fender or two if you need. Make sure the batteris are charged for hte bildge pump.

Mike P 08-26-2011 09:36 AM

Got a feeling that tonight, all of the Friday evening traffic jams will be on the Cape side of the bridges, for once. :grins:

The exodus started already---at least 20 vehicles passed me on 25/195 this morning, loaded down to the gills.

johnny ducketts 08-26-2011 10:00 AM

considering sunday is going to suck without tv, interweb, power, etc... maybe wire up some plugs that have needed attention for the last 2 years.

MarshCappa 08-26-2011 10:07 AM

I worry and prepare more for the Nor'Easters in the winter than I do for a hurricane. It doesn't phase me much. We have everything we need.

Charged the batteries, springer line from center cleat to back and a double line on the front. Taped the covers on the electronics.

That is all. Carry on!

One of the problems with today's weather forecasts is that weather has become very dramatic in this age of reality TV. The weather channel and all other weather people way over dramatize and exaggerate the weather every day. Then, when something really bad comes our way there are no new adjectives to separate this from yesterdays storm. They come up with some new "exclusive" ratings graph that shows "extreme" or catastrophic. If this is just another 50mph blow don't you think at some point they will loose credibility?

People are spending a lot of $$ to prepeare for this and if it turns out to be mild and not worth it, the next time they will not prepare like that and that would be when the "big one" hits...There needs to be some accountability on their behalf.

We had that happen a few weeks ago...pain in the ass. Lost the evaporator fan and it took a week to get parts.

Quite this morning...a few birds and insects but usually the animals are making all kind of racket.

At 6am I could have sworn we had a red sky.

I did take my awning down and have the deck furniture lashed. Trying to get the loose stuff in but there's a lot of it.
